Four of the great pack started heat at the same time.
These are difficult times. These are difficult times, because you can't leave them alone in the yard. You can't just walk anywhere. They are not allowed to pee in the street unless we are further away. They have to be watched constantly and I can't let them out in our fenced areas either. And you have to be more careful and circumspect during sex. And everything is bloody, dirty, sticky and sex is not so liberated, it's more like a duty.
Fortunately, nature is helpful even to creatures that have sex exclusively with other species.
Dogs are only in heat every six months. Its duration is 3 weeks, of which only the second and third weeks are more difficult. Another big help is that if there are more females, they synchronize with each other, they will be in heat at the same time (every 6 months). Or if there are a lot of people, then half of the team and the other half at another time. The point is that there are long breaks (months) and short heat (3 weeks). This way, you can always start the heat period relaxed, and then another long rest follows.
Anyone who has lived with female dogs for a long time and is interested in the biological functioning of the female dog already knows the signs even before the first drop of blood.
On the one hand, from the calendar, it is advisable to keep a heat calendar. On the other hand, from the behavior of females with each other. They sniff each other's genitals more than usual and lick them curiously. This is started a week and a half before the first drop of blood. A few days later, the outer fleshy part of the pussy will have a different feel and texture to gentle pressure, because it will start to absorb fluid and swell. At this point, the females may already hump with each other. After that, the pussy continues to swell and the first drop of blood appears. From there, we count ~3 weeks.
These are difficult times for the pack leader, the alpha male, because all of his time, attention and energy is taken up by protecting her pack and meeting the needs of her pack.
